“Adina is simply the best! We are so lucky to have her for a few years now! Adina and her son are literally like family to our puppy Cocoa, who loves them so much! She now jumps out of the car as we arrive to drop her off! We really cannot recommend Adina highly enough !”
“We would highly recommend Charlotte if you’re looking for a sitter, she was absolutely great from organising a meet and greet and providing regular updates while we were away. Olive had a lovely time and didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up!”

“Deirdre was fantastic in looking after our puppy. She met us before the stay to introduce her dog to our puppy and they got on great. She was quick to communicate and send us pictures and updates and was flexible when our flight delay meant we were late picking our puppy up. Would definitely book again”
“Dawn was fantastic! She was very accommodating to my needs and what was needed for the dogs. She provided updates and took great care of them both! Would definitely reccomend!”
“Julie was amazing! So kind, caring and thoughtful with our dog, who is quite anxious around new people. Couldn't have hoped for a better place for her to stay while we were away. Buffy had such a lovely time and didn't want to leave! Thank you Julie :)”
“Rebecca and Kyle were so good with Enzo, providing updates and he looked like he settled in really well! Would definitely book again having complete peace of mind he’s well looked after.”

Both times Elly has been in a great level of contact and clearly caring for Penny's interests. A 5* experience knowing my dog is in good and kind hands! If I could give 6* I would!!”
“Excellent sitter experience. This was Harvey’s first time with Artur and Harvey was so relaxed and happy when we went to collect him that it was like he knew Artur well, so much so, he didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be booking with Artur again. 😊”
About: I have consistently been around dogs my whole life, ranging from all sized and breeds. I also volunteered for a dog shelter and an organization working with dogs without homes. I have helped with walking and bathing dogs, as well as preparing them to be taken to their forever home! Also, I do not have pets of my own living with me currently (I do have a Yorkshire Terrier back in my country!!) so if your dog is not social around other animals, this will not be an issue. I do not work, I am a full-time university student with a light lecture schedule, so I am very flexible; I only have classes 2-3 times per week. Therefore, I can take care of dogs throughout the week as well as the weekends, accommodating various schedules and owners I live alone, with no other pets, therefore your dogs will have the house to themselves, sharing their space only with me! While I do not have a yard, I live in an area which is suitable for dog walking, and there is a lovely park nearby. If your dogs requires specific attention or care, this will not be a problem.
“Bella had an amazing time with Jessica, I could tell how happy she had been there when I went to collect her as Bella kept going back for cuddles 🤍 I got regular updates to let me know how Bella was doing, and I defiantly will be using Jessica again in the future, highly recommended dog sitter, thank you again x”
“Louisa was really lovely and caring. She went out of her way to collect Henry and came to mine to drop him back. He was a very happy dog when he returned home and I’d be more than happy for Louisa to have him again”
“Hayley was brilliant at accommodating mine and Nala's needs. She made Nala feel settled and wwlcome in her home straightaway. It's wonderful to know there is someone so caring about dogs to look after her when I need them.”
“This was our first time using sitters and we are so pleased that we did. Deidre and Liam did a fantastic job - Manny was very excited to be back there again after our introductory visit a few weeks before. They kept us bang up to date with photos and updates and Manny clearly had a lovely time. We will definitely be asking for Deidre and Liam’s help again!”
“Ádám looked after our Italian Greyhound, Bean, for almost a week. He’s very knowledgable about dogs was great at sending us regular updates and letting us know how she was getting on which we loved! Bean had a great time, we’d definitely recommend Ádám and will definitely be booking with him again in the future.”
“We cannot thank Jacqui enough for the wonderful care she gave our 4‑month‑old puppy Snuggle while he stayed away from home. From the very start, we felt completely at ease—Jacqui is so warm, trustworthy, and clearly has such a loving way with dogs 💖 What made it extra special was how thoughtfully she kept us involved: she sent regular updates with lovely photos, sweet videos, and detailed notes about how Snuggle was doing, what he’d been up to, and how settled he felt. It meant the world to us to see our little one happy and safe, and we never felt out of the loop at all! Jacqui’s home is such a caring, welcoming place—Snuggle was loved and looked after as if he were her own. We would 100% recommend Jacqui to all our family and friends without any hesitation, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you for everything, Jacqui—you’re brilliant! 🐾❤️”

About: Hi. I’m a professional, qualified actuary based here in Leeds city centre. I have experience dog sitting for a range of dogs (including senior citizens). I’m hoping to build relationships with a few local dogs (and their owners!) for sitting and walking services. I’m located close to Leeds train station and typically head along the canals for walks. I work full time although my work is flexible with when and where I work meaning I can typically adapt my schedule to your needs. I’m very patient and I have cared for nervous dogs in the past so I’m used to quickly building trust with them. I enjoy walks around Leeds city centre or further afield in Yorkshire on the weekend. I live with my partner who is equally caring and loving of dogs.
“Izzy was fantastic as always. Taking care of Loki and keeping me up to date with how he was getting on and sending plenty of photos. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a cat sitter in Leeds.”
“Hazal was great looking after our little cat! She was great at keeping in touch to give us updates and keep our minds at ease. We got lots of pictures and videos of them playing - we came home to a very happy cat. Would recommend to anyone needing a cat sitter while they’re away.”
“Freya has been just wonderful, super friendly and accommodating, but also a great friend to our handsome boyo. He's never been left alone for more than half a day-ish but Freya helped to put us at ease over leaving him and also keep him happy, entertained, and thoroughly looked-after in our absence. The daily reports were comprehensive and Freya was lightning-fast to communicate whenever we had additional questions or requests. We will absolutely be back and honestly couldn't have hoped for better!”
“Charlotte was friendly, personable, reliable, and took amazing care of our two cats and our home on her stay here. She shared lots of pictures so we could see how well the babies were doing and managed to keep a young kitten and an old man who needs daily arthritis meds really well looked after. Would highly recommend her services! Thank you ❤️”
About: I am a university student away from my three cats, Miso, Shino, and Kuro who I miss everyday. I grew up in a family that absolutely cherishes cats, and I would love to spend time with yours just so I am reminisce my cats!! I am happy to do daily visits at your place, I will ensure your pets has enough food, a clean litter box, and also to spend some time with them making sure they are very much entertained!
“This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and the whole experience could have been smoother. Katrina gave us peace of mind and constant communication. Our cats, who do not like strangers a lot, warmed up to her pretty quickly. When we came home they were relaxed and obviously well cared for. Thank you katrina - will definitely seek your service again”
“Isabela was great watching our cats! She got good pictures even though our cats were incredibly shy and hiding from her. Always kept us updated. Highly recommend her to watch your pets”
About: 🐱 I’ve also cared for cats at a shelter in Croatia where I looked after cats with a range of needs, including kittens, elderly cats, and cats recovering from being hit by cars. This taught me to be patient and gentle, especially as many of them were frightened of humans. I have also raised my own 3 year old rescue cat since he was a kitten. I’m used to getting to know a cats individual personality and giving them the right balance of space and attention. I have a naturally calm presence, so I’m happy to take things at their pace, whether you would like me to play with them, or simply check in and see if they’re okay and happy. I’ll make sure to follow their routine and keep you updated whilst I care for them 🐱
“Becca was a wonderful sitter for our cat, Banana. We requested her at fairly short notice and she was available and very accommodating in meeting Banana and collecting the house key. Banana was very content during our weekend away and Becca was great at sending updates. Would recommend Becca and will definitely be asking again!”
“Thomas is amazing with our puppy. He always follows our instructions and will check in if anything is unclear. From his updates our puppy looks like he is having the best time! Thank you Thomas ❤️”

“My mini Schnauzer, Reggie, loved his day with Fredy and Christian. He came home tired and happy thanks to the walks and spending time with their lovely dog. I was happy with the photos they sent me and the updates. They're wonderful and I hope Reg can spend another day with them soon.”
“Hattie has been amazing! This was the first time I’d ever used daycare for my dog Stan so I was a bit nervous and Hattie really helped put my mind at ease from the start. Hattie is flexible, responsive, experienced and sends lots of photos and updates during the day, which I really appreciate. Most importantly, Stan loves it and was clearly happy to go back! We're really glad we found her 🐶”

“Julie was amazing with my puppy Luna, and I could clearly see that Luna was having such a lovely time whilst boarding! Julie walked her loads, gave her loads of attention and looked after her so well. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates too which was so nice. Will definitely look to Julie again for future sitting. Thank you!”
“My dog had a lovely time with Deirdre and her partner. I felt more than comfortable leaving her in their care and would happily do so again. Thanks again for having her!!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for over 16 years. I grew up with dogs, caring and walking our Black Labrador from a puppy through to her senior years of 14 years. I now have my own cheeky chappy, Ralph who I’ve also had from a puppy. I’ve also looked after my siblings and friend’s dogs, including a Samoyed, Dashshund, Sprocker Spaniel, French Bulldog, and a Doberman, so I’m well versed in dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities! I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, toilet breaks and day care. I’ll follow their usual routine and/or your preferences, and will take time to understand what helps them feel happy and comfortable. I am on a career break so have plenty of time to fit in cuddles and care for your loved pooches (from walks, drop-ins, toilet breaks and day care)! I’m flexible, responsive and considerate so can embed in to existing routines or your preferences. I’ll ask about your dog’s routine, temperament, commands and any health needs before their first booking. On walks, I’ll follow your instructions about preferences on style/location and I won’t let your dog off lead unless we’ve agreed it in advance/ you are comfortable. For visits and day care, I’ll stick to their feeding and toilet routine, make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, and send you updates. I can also drive to a suitable walking spot for a change of pace or for new smells.
“Eleanor was amazing with Gracie! She followed the feeding schedule I shared, kept me updated with lots of pictures, and was always just a away, which really gave us peace of mind. Gracie absolutely enjoyed her company, the walks, and the garden outings. We will definitely be booking Eleanor again without a doubt! 😊”
“Justyna's house (including large garden), other dogs and passion for animals is second to none for looking after our Bertie! Bertie can't wait to come back again for his longer stay this Friday :) Thank you Justyna!”
“Adelita was great with my dog Sheroo, he enjoyed his day with her and had no issues when we left. Adelita is very calm and obviously loves dogs and she is super caring and kind in her approach. Very professional and reliable, will definitely use her again, thanks so much.”
About: I’m an international student, currently working on my dissertation, so I spend most of my time at home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I live very close to a big park, so it’s easy for me to take dogs out for walks, fresh air, and playtime. I grew up with a cat that I found on the street and brought home. She stayed with my family until old age. I don’t have any pets at the moment, but my family in Taiwan has many dogs and cats, and I sometimes helped take care of them when I was there.😸🐶 I’m caring, patient, and responsible. I’ll do my best to make your pet feel safe and comfortable, and I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. I’m currently working on my dissertation, so I don’t need to go to university most days and I spend a lot of time at home. My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m usually available on both weekdays and weekends. For dog walking, I’m generally free after midday. I will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking routines, medication if needed, and any house rules. I don’t have any pets at home at the moment, so your pet can have a calm and quiet space. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you know your pet is doing well.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life from dogs to stick insects. I’ve regularly looked after friends/family’s furry friends for about 7 years now. I get so much happiness from animals. While I am at university, I have a lot of free time. I am unsure with my schedule for days I will need to be in Uni, however I am very flexible with time. Usually at a pet owners home, I never leave the room which the pet is in, that way all my attention is focused on the fur baby. I also propose meeting both the pet and owner before so I can get an idea of who I’m looking after
“Dawn made everything very simple and stress-free. We visited her home a few days before. Dawn made us feel completely at ease and was happy to answer any questions. As soon as we left Bruno, we could hear him crying, but just a few minutes later Dawn was already sending us messages showing him calm and relaxed, which immediately put our minds at ease. Throughout the day, she kept us updated with photos and comments about how Bruno was doing. When we picked him up, he was calm and happy — a clear sign that he enjoyed his day with Dawn.”

“First time using a dog walker and I’m glad I found Rosie. She was amazing with our young dog Henry. Very reliable and trustworthy with our house. I received updates and photos which is a lovely touch and she also made sure he was dried after a wet walk. Henry loves her! Will definitely be booking again.”
About: I will ensure your pets come back pawsome! 🫶 I’m a student but I have hands-on experience caring for very different kinds of dogs. I looked after a Shih Tzu with my mum longer than 10 years, who became blind in old age, and back home in Korea: two poodle and three bichon frisés who are very energetic and attention seeking. 🐶 Through this I learnt how to be both gentle and structured calm care for senior dogs and active engagement for lively ones. However, if your old friend is struggling with their health, please consider finding a sitter who is more experienced in caring for elderly or unwell pets. ❤️🩹 I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime and giving extra reassurance to dogs who feel anxious or need more attention. I pay close attention to behaviour and small changes, because pets communicate a lot without words. 💬 I’m naturally patient and affectionate with animals, and I treat them as family. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, cared for and relaxed while you’re away 🐾 WEEKEND: Full availability for all (small/medium/large dogs & cats) MONDAY: Full availability for small dogs & cats TUESDAY: Available after 5:30pm WEDNESDAY: Full availability for small dogs & cats THURSDAY: Full availability for small dogs & cats FRIDAY: Full availability for small dogs & cats 📝 During an exam season, I can only do weekends. I live in a studio, and as the soundproofing isn’t great, I wouldn’t recommend booking with me if your pets are sensitive to noise or tend to be quite vocal. 🗣️ I clean the room before meeting your furry pals 🧹 and prepare anything else that may be required for your pets care and love! 🧡 But please let me know if any more cautious care is needed.

About: I am a reliable, trust worthy person which is shown from having worked as a doctor for 2 years. I spent a vast amount of my time around my relative and friends dogs since childhood, and love the companionship dogs provide. I have provided dog sitting both during the day and overnight for a variety of dogs and am confident in looking after them for extended periods. I’m currently working part time as a bank doctor which means I am able to pick and choose when I work. I am therefore available 7/7 days a week at any time and will book shifts around my dog sitting. I live in a flat that is dog proof. I will spend the majority of the time with the dogs on walks and at the park, but will also be able to keep dogs in the flat and overnight if needed
About: Recently back from volunteering at a dog and cat shelter in Croatia! 🐾 I cared for a wide range of dogs, including senior and injured dogs, large and strong breeds, nervous dogs and very excited puppies. I also cared for kittens from 4 weeks old to old cats, including injured and sick cats. I was also trusted to give medication, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats who need a little extra attention or have specific routines. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have had a dog of my own since I was 11. I also rescued a cat 3 years ago and it was the best decision ever! I started walking dogs for neighbours when I was 14, giving me years of hands-on experience with dogs of different personalities, sizes and energy levels. I also have experience caring for my own dog who is blind, which has taught me to be particularly attentive and patient with dogs who need extra reassurance or adjustments to their usual routine. I love running and hiking, so although I’ve only lived in Leeds for a few years, I’ve spent a lot of time exploring the area on foot and know plenty of good places for walks. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated while your dog is in my care. Most importantly, I want them to feel safe, comfortable and properly looked after while you’re away 🐕 ❤️ I’m a university student so my availability is around my studies. I’m generally available for walks and drop ins during the day depending on my timetable, as well as evenings and weekends, including overnight stays. I’m an early riser so early morning walks are no problem! I’ll take the time and patience to learn your pets routine, personality, likes and dislikes, and I’m happy to follow any instructions you give me. For walks, I keep dogs on their usual lead and follow your preferences around where they’re walked. I’m also comfortable with large, strong and nervous dogs, thanks to my experience at a dog shelter. For house sitting and drop ins I will treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I will leave it clean and tidy too. I will keep you updated with messages and photos if you would like that. I don’t currently offer boarding in my own home, as I live in a student house :(
“Katrina was absolutely amazing. The girls loved her, were excited to see her and were happy when they came home, even aida who can be shy around strangers! Great communication, photos from their walks of the dogs happy and content which made us at ease that they were comparable with her! Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of my two girls, making it so stress free and getting two well exercised and happy dogs home after their walks! Would definitely reccomend Katrina to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets, she has an amazing connection with animals which is lovely to see. Thanks again from me and the girls!”
“Our dog adores Liam, always happy to see him. Liam brings with home many years of living with dogs and academic qualifications, not only is he giving our dog the daytime exercise and attention he needs, but also experience on how to raise and train a puppy. Thank you Liam”

“We would highly recommend Charlotte if you’re looking for a sitter, she was absolutely great from organising a meet and greet and providing regular updates while we were away. Olive had a lovely time and didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“Deirdre was fantastic in looking after our puppy. She met us before the stay to introduce her dog to our puppy and they got on great. She was quick to communicate and send us pictures and updates and was flexible when our flight delay meant we were late picking our puppy up. Would definitely book again”
“Dawn was fantastic! She was very accommodating to my needs and what was needed for the dogs. She provided updates and took great care of them both! Would definitely reccomend!”
“Rebecca and Kyle were so good with Enzo, providing updates and he looked like he settled in really well! Would definitely book again having complete peace of mind he’s well looked after.”
“Excellent sitter experience. This was Harvey’s first time with Artur and Harvey was so relaxed and happy when we went to collect him that it was like he knew Artur well, so much so, he didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be booking with Artur again. 😊”
“Louisa was really lovely and caring. She went out of her way to collect Henry and came to mine to drop him back. He was a very happy dog when he returned home and I’d be more than happy for Louisa to have him again”
“This was our first time using sitters and we are so pleased that we did. Deidre and Liam did a fantastic job - Manny was very excited to be back there again after our introductory visit a few weeks before. They kept us bang up to date with photos and updates and Manny clearly had a lovely time. We will definitely be asking for Deidre and Liam’s help again!”
“Ádám looked after our Italian Greyhound, Bean, for almost a week. He’s very knowledgable about dogs was great at sending us regular updates and letting us know how she was getting on which we loved! Bean had a great time, we’d definitely recommend Ádám and will definitely be booking with him again in the future.”

I am available on term weekends and alternate Fridays added from 4th September 2026. I WILL ONLY TAKE ONE DOG AT A TIME TO MAINTAIN HYGIENE AND PROPER CARE. YOU NEED TO COME AND VISIT US WITH YOUR DOG TO SEE THE SPACE YOURSELF AND MAKE THE DOG ACQUAINTED TO WHERE IT IS GOING TO STAY. Dog must be house trained. Should not be snappy as I have a 6 year old.

I work part -time and I am available from 11 am onwards to walk and can board well behaved dogs over the weekend depending as per my availability. I mainly walk dogs. Dogs should be non aggressive and friendly. I can look after dogs for short time at pet owners house ( not overnight)
“Rolo had a Fantastic time with Georgia and family for the week. Georgia kept us up to date with Rolos adventures through messages and pictures. Would certainly be using Georgia again.”
“We are so pleased to have found Helen and Andy on our doorstep. Our dog Vinnie had grown quite fearful of his kennels and we were determined to find him somewhere he could be more at-home and comfortable when we were away. From meet and greets to taster stays, Helen has made every effort to settle Vinnie in and move at his pace. Her knowledge and experience with dogs really shows and Vinnie was happy and content in their company and home which has been lovely to see.”
About: ** reduced rates to build a customer base due to my exisiting reviews being lost**Hi I'm Cat and I love animals more than people! I spent 6 months in New Zealand house and pet sitting. There I took care of lots of cats and dogs and a wide variety of different animals such as donkeys, chickens, sheep, alpacas, doves, cows, rabbits etc. Unfortunately my beautiful cat passed away recently so I would love to look after your pet, I really miss all the love pets bring to the home. Me & my husband work from home so we will be home all day plus my husband has Wednesdays off so we can give lots of love and attention every day. We have a nice garden with a secure tall fence and live near some lovely parks for walks. I have a fenced back garden that we can play in. I have no pets currently and will only accept 1 dog at a time so your dog will get all our attention.
About: I have been pet- sitting, house-sitting, and watching animals of all kinds since i was in middle school. I've made my own small business and had jobs taking care of animals and homes around my neighborhood pretty much all throughout my life and it is definitely one of my favorite ways to make money because it comes very naturally for me. I am a very neat and orderly person, so I always make sure to treat other people's things as if it were my own. I'm also happy to commute anywhere including parks, the vet, or anywhere else necessary for your pets and I am very flexible with my time at home on the weekends. I will make sure your home and pets are treated with love and care! I just finished up my Masters Dissertation and basically have an open availability to care for your pets whether it’s walking, playing, feeding, or just cuddling together I’m happy to do it all! Like I mentioned before, I'm a very neat and orderly person and feel obligated to treat people's things/ pets with the same care I would give to my own. I also am very organized so if I'm given clear instructions then anything you need to have taken care of will be a breeze!
“Lucy took excellent care of our anxious 1 year old dog Frankie. I was so nervous dropping him off as we haven't left him before but Lucy made me feel completely at ease about the whole thing. He came home a very happy dog and we really couldn't ask for more than that. We look forward to using her again and I've already recommended her to family friends.”
“Isobel was absolutely fantastic with our dog Juno, she was so well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates and photos and had complete peace of mind knowing she was being well looked after.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old, I have helped train, take care and look after them. I am currently studying Psychology at Uni and use my love for dogs and care to help cover my studies. I am currently at University so I have a set schedule, but plenty of time during the week and weekend to look after and play with your dog! I live in a shared house at university all dog friendly if overnight stay is needed. And a park next to the house for dog walks.
